Newsday ^

boo F'in hoo

That's nobody's fault but theirs if they want to starve themselves to death.

One of their lawyers was on the BBC/NPR the other day, wailing over their clients' plight and lying through his teeth.

The title is most certainly wrong: not "deaths feared", but "deaths hoped for" - the lemon chickens used there could more gainfully be fed to more deserving recipients. Why waste food?

[RadioAstronomer]

This will not bode well for the US. One more thing for the international community to bash us with.

[raybbr]

Let them die! It's their choice.

"• Grisly scene: The detainees' statements paint a scene of gruesome desperation during the previous hunger strike, with prisoners vomiting blood or collapsing in their cells."


What, no webcam?

[Williams]

Not feared by me.

Good! Serves the Al Qaeda and Taliban vermin right...

I read it twice. I must have missed the downside..

sniffle

[cripplecreek]

We love life they love death.

[Dog Gone]

If they choose to starve instead of eating almond-crusted salmon on a bed of rice pilaf, it's hard to get all teary-eyed.

"Deaths feared..."?
HA! They'll just free up space for more interrogations. Letting these COMBATANTS see lawyers was the worst thing the gov't did. Who do you think gave them the idea to fast in protest?
Conditions in Gitmo are perfectly fine and these freaks live better than most soldiers in our military. Notice how once Bush started flying all the congress down there for tours all the bashing stopped......
....let the a$$holes die from starvation, at least they won't be released so that they can go back to the battlefield to try to kill more US soldiers.

[TADSLOS]

Prepare the panty death masks.

[Calpernia]

bump

[EggsAckley]

some are accepting small amounts of liquid or occasional meals to prolong the strike

Muslim logic never fails to amaze me.

[CommandoFrank]

Threaten to sprinkle them with pig blood when they die, that will stop'em.

On second thought, don't...

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I'm trying to actually give a damn but I just can't seem to muster any sympathy. Just as those 19 hijackers decided that they hate America so much that they would die so that they can take others with them I have no sympathy for muslims slowing committing suicide by starving themselves. It's their choice.
